    Canelo is always attempting to press the action so I would certainly consider him an aggressive fighter. Also, he is not yet a superstar. He's hoping to become one.

    Oscar was always regarded as an aggressive fighter until the last 3 rounds of the Tito fight made people think differently of him and he was a big KO guy. Oscar was also extremely good looking, charming and comfortable in front of the camera. Personality doesn't have to be a "love me or hate me" kind of extravagance like Floyd or Tyson. You can just be charming like Oscar or Evander were for much of their careers and still have "personality" that works in your favor. The point I was making was that guys who offer neither and are essentially boring like Crawford don't sell very well with the casual fans. I will pay to watch Crawford fight any day of the week, but good luck getting Joe Shmoe to do the same.

    He has a good chance if he doesn't get KTFO.

    u be better watching big brother bud :bart

    iv never gave a to$$ about how funny a boxer is, how boring he is etc i watch em in the ring and no where else. You often find that the most dedicated to the sport tend to be boring as they spend all their time working on their craft and not socialising improving their personalities !

    Well it's a good thing that you are willing to buy 1 million PPVs on your own then!

    I don't give a f*ck about a fighter's personality. I'm a huge Crawford fan. The question is who is the next superstar in boxing? The answer is not Terrence Crawford.

    ggg, he has a good playing ground at 154-168 with possible match ups like froch, ward, canelo, cotto, thurman.

    thurman, can match up from 147-154 before moving up.

    Disagree he's #1 P4P, I have him #9 but even though he's my favorite active fighter right now I still highly doubt he has time to really establish himself as a superstar. He'd either need to beat Cotto (fight will never happen) and then Canelo at MW or move up and beat Froch (has to happen first because Froch has one foot out the door already) and then move back down and beat Canelo in order to really become a "superstar" And by the time those fights come off he may already be 35 and only have 2 or 3 more years left in boxing.
